Beneath its classic touring appearance, the Honda CX 500 holds hidden potential for cafe racer enthusiasts.
With its sturdy frame and V-twin engine, it's perfect for becoming a café racer.
This motorcycle style combines performance and elegance.
The Honda CX500, once overlooked by motorcycle enthusiasts, has become a favorite for cafe racer builders.
Sacha Lakic, a seasoned designer, transformed a 1982 model into a sleek, high-performance machine.
Key points of the transformation:
Final result: a lighter (125 kg), more maneuverable motorcycle with a decidedly sporty look.
While most builders attempt to mask the often-criticized frame line of the Honda CX500, Auto Fabrica took a very different approach.
Instead of hiding its unique traits, the workshop decided to highlight the frame’s distinctive organic shape.
By keeping the original frame and enhancing it with careful craftsmanship, Auto Fabrica created a cafe racer with a distinctive look.
A hand-shaped aluminum tank, custom seat, and exhaust line complete the picture.
Key points of the transformation:
This bike is a fine example of how a creative workshop can turn an ordinary motorcycle into a unique work of art.

It’s surprising to see tire warmers on a Honda CX500.
Known for its unique V-twin engine, shaft drive, and particular aesthetics, the CX500 isn’t exactly renowned for performance.
Yet, it’s amazing how this bike, once a favorite for delivery riders, has become a custom builders’ favorite.
The Austrian workshop NCT Motorcycles never fails to amaze us and has a knack for perfecting every detail.
This 1978 CX500 was a personal project, a way for NCT to unleash its creativity.
The workshop's owner, David Widmann, drew inspiration from Honda's CB1100 TR concept to design this machine.
The team completely disassembled the motorcycle to transform it.
Key points of the transformation:
This bike is a true success and showcases the talent of the NCT Motorcycles team.
